===========================================
This blog is my place
to reflect what happens in my life
and what is in my mind.

I know sometimes I sound hypocrite
...
while at the other time,
I seem to rebel against the world.

Well, that's what happens in my head though.

I am trying to be wiser everyday,
opening my eyes for the truth of the world...
like an owl observing the night.

But my friends,

perhaps without realizing,
I am walking on the path of foolishness here.
Thus, I really appreciate
your comments, complains, questions,
and even... mockery.

Of Justice

=================================== 
There was a boy,
whose dream was to be a hero of justice,
who would send all enemies of this justice
to the deepest of hell to receive their
straightforward judgment...

But the world is not so simple,
as the black and white view
of his childhood dream...

When he had grown up,
he became a judge, but...
this once a boy had lost his confidence
to be able to tell the difference of
what is just and what is unfair...

So, there he went to a senior judge,
who is well known for his wisdom,
and he asked,
"Your Honour, if I might ask you...
How is it possible for me to be
on the side of justice all the time?"

The elder judge answered,
"We are humans, young friend,
we are susceptible to injustice.
However, there is one simple principle
you need to do if you aim to be just
all the time."

"What is it Your Honor?"

"Do like what the sun does.
It gives the same warmth and light
to everything no matter what it is...
Do like the air does.
It lets anything inhales it,
no matter how small or how big...
Do like the flowers do.
Their beauty is for every being to see
Their fragrance is for every being to enjoy ..."

"Does it mean I have to treat everyone
equals? Even the good and the bad?"

"No, dear friend. No!
It means that you should do your job
as it is supposed to be.
It means that you should do
what you are supposed to do
in your current position..."
